It might be surprising that the author of fantasy novels would be considered an influential personality. But it is not so much the content of J.K. Rowling’s writings that make her story inspiring, but the path that led her to become a world renowned author. Miss Rowling wrote the critically acclaimed Harry Potter series going from café shop to café shop with her infant daughter, while on welfare after her divorce.
